Love’s Fortune continues the story of the
Ballantyne family with the third generation. Rowena Wren Ballantryne is more at
home in the Kentucky backwoods than in a Pennsylvania ballroom. She shares her
grandfather and father’s musical talents. Love’s Fortune is a great conclusion
to a family legacy. It was nice to visit with characters from the previous
books in the Ballantyne legacy. Like the other books in the series there are quotes at the beginning of the chapter, that seem to fit that chapter
Laura has done it again, another book that makes you fall in love with the characters. Laura writes a novel that is full of emotion,
and faith. There’s always a happy ending at the end, but it’s a roller coaster
ride to the end. Love’s Fortune like
all of Laura’s books has faith blended into the story. It’s the main character’s
faith that gets them through the hard times.
Love’s Fortune had a slight twist from Laura’s earlier
novels is at least in my opinion is two very likeable heroes for different
reasons. Two heroines in this novel worked as well to help give both heroes a
chance. I was happy with not only the
end of the book but the ending of the series. I have to say that Wren has
become my new favorite heroine of Laura’s.
While I am sad to see the Ballantyne family go the series was
wrapped up nicely and any questions that I had were answered.
And as always I cannot wait for Laura's next book.
